Disable ribbon, office button & quick access toolbar

Hi everyone,

I am trying to create a single window interface for my database. As I am using Access 2007, I have my document layout options set to tabbed documents without displaying documents tabs in order to get my main form to appear as the only element in the access application window. I have also set anchoring in the form so that controls that should always be visible are and others stretch to adjust to the size of the window. When resizing the window the ribbon, office button & quick access toolbar disappear when the window goes below a certain height. Does anyone know how to disable these controls permanently so they don't appear when I enlarge the window?

Kind Regards,

Ken.

P.S. Also is it possible to set a minimum window size that resizing will not go below?

Getting rid of the ribbon, office button, and QAT aren't possible, as far as I know. I can tell you how to add/remove items from each, but I have never seen anyone say exactly how to disable or remove them entirely. I've seen many discussions on the web, mostly around when Office 2k7 was in beta, griping about how we're stuck with the Office interface. I havent seen anything new since then.

If you find anything newer, please let me know!

Thank you ChipR, this worked for me too.
Does anyone know if there is a way to get the ribbon to come back without removing the code?

I would think the opposite parameter would bring the ribbon back, like:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. DoCmd.ShowToolbar "Ribbon", acToolbarYes

Good point Megalog. I was hoping for a keyboard shortcut. I guess the moral of the story is don't put in this code in until your DB is ready to be implemented...o therwise you can't access the ribbon to do your work.

What about creating the simple Macro implied and setting it to a key combination like SHFT+Ctrl+F12.

DoCmd.ShowToolb ar "Ribbon", acToolbarYes

I like that idea dpminusa. I will try that. I don't know how to set a macro to a keyboard combination but I'd like to try to figure it out on my own before I ask a question on it. Thanks!

Does anyone know if you can add your own items to the round office button in the top left? I'm guessing the answer is no, and that you can only hide the default items, but it would be great if you could add your own. Reason being, I have a setup options screen, and a backup utility that would go perfectly there for my custom app. As it stands, I'm not quite sure where to put them, or where to put an old-style "File, Register..." type screen...

I've searched this forum and trawled the wider web and can't find any information on how to hide or disable the A2007 Quick Access Toolbar. The toolbar is not something that one wants available to the user in a custom application. Can it be disabled or hidden and if so, how?

I'm building an application using A2K7 and I need to be able to hide the navigation pane from my users. That's easy. I just hide it using Access options and then disable special keys so they can't bring it up using F11. But what good does that do me if the users can just click on the Office Button and then Access Options and reverse those settings? Not much, but I can't seem to find a way to hide the Access Options button. I know I can...

I keep selecting and selecting, but it just doesn't show up. I also have no button in the ribbon for this, or any ability to get into other modes via the Office button. It's very frustrating; I had to search online for a keyboard shortcut to be able to access Design Mode at all. I'm sure there is something I'm missing, but it doesn't make sense. I can add and remove other buttons from the toolbar, why not Mode??

I have an .accde file with custom ribbons and with "Allow Full Menus" set to False, but the Office Button menu still gives the user the ability to create a new Access database, or -- much worse -- open an existing one. My application is on a terminal server and I'm trying to plug all the holes so the user can't do anything but use my application. But right now if the user goes to the Office Button and clicks "Open", he can navigate to...

Hi everyone, Now that I've found a way to disable the ribbon etc. I need to disable the application maximize button. I have looked at this post and implemented it, but it disables the close and minimize buttons as well. Is there a simple command I can use to disable just this button or any way I can adapt the cited post to do just that? Kind regards, Ken.
